Paper Submission

Maximum Limit of Submissions
The ICAIIT Committee has established a maximum limit of 4 submissions per author (including coauthored papers). Failure to comply with this requirement can result in papers not being reviewed (i.e. fourth and further papers based on date and time of submission).

Language
English is the language of the conference and of all submissions.

Originality
Submissions to ICAIIT must be original. Submissions cannot have been published or accepted in a journal or conference proceedings, nor presented at another conference. Further, submissions must not be currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere. Completed papers should have completed analyses and documentation of results.

Review Criteria for Papers:
-    Topic is relevant to a Conference theme
-    Objectives are clear and well-described
-    Paper is written clearly
-    Paper will draw an audience
-    Paper is well organized and flows logically
-    Literature review is appropriate
-    Methodology is appropriate (if relevant)
-    Analyses are appropriate (if relevant)
-    Evidence supports authors' arguments (if relevant)
-    Paper makes a useful contribution

Review Procedure
All papers are double-blind reviewed through the EasyChair system. Authors and information about them are not available in the paper during review. Information about the authors of the paper, which are entered in the fields during the registration of the report, is not available to the reviewers., They are visible only to the group of editors who manage the distribution of papers by reviewers. The principle of distribution according to reviewers implies the elimination of possible duplication by organization and country. The review information is also anonymous. Authors do not know which members of the program committee made comments and recommendations.
After the review, the EasyChair system sends notification to all authors of papers to their e-mail addresses specified in the system, with the results and deadline for finalizing the text of the paper. Four types of responses are used in the reviewing process based on the results of the review:
a)    the text is accepted without comments (extremely rare, hardly used at the first stage);
b)    the text is accepted with minor comments and suggestions for improvement;
c)    the text is conditionally accepted, after refinement in accordance with the comments and suggestions;
d)    the text is rejected.

The system of conference reviewing does not provide for authors to respond to reviewers. The author finalizes his text and uploads a new version to the EasyChair system. Naturally, it is not recommended to ignore reviewers' comments and recommendations, but there are situations when recommendations of two reviewers contradict each other. In this case, it is up to the authors to decide which recommendations for revision best fit their concept and will help to improve the quality of presentation of their idea and presentation of research results.
The corrected paper should be sent back to the editorial office within 2-3 days of its receipt. The publisher makes every effort to ensure prompt publication. Therefore, it is important that the paper is prepared strictly according to the requirements of the Conference Proceedings.

Template/Formatting
All submissions must be in Microsoft Word .docx or LaTex format and must use the submission template (Word, LaTex). Instructions for using the template and formatting the submission are provided in the ICAIIT template document itself. Submissions should consist of only one file containing text, figures, tables and references. Files submitted in other word processing formats or that do not use this template will not be considered for review.

Length Requirements
Completed research papers must not exceed seven (7) single-spaced pages and must conform to the ICAIIT submission template. The 7 pages must include all text, figures, tables, and appendices. The cover page, abstract, keywords, and references are also included in this page count. Submissions with less than 5 pages will be automatically rejected.

Anonymize Completed Papers for Double-Blind Review
Authors name(s) should not appear in the body of the paper (including the abstract). Eliminate references to your institutions, your sponsors, your unpublished work and your published work if these references will identify any author.

Remove author and institution information from document properties. To do this in Word 2010 click the File tab, and then click Info. Under Prepare for Sharing, click Check for Issues, and then click Inspect Document. In the Document Inspector dialog box, select the check boxes to choose the types of hidden content that you want to be inspected. In the next dialog box you can choose which information to remove. For older versions of MS-Word, click on Tools>>Options and then click on the Security tab. Under Privacy Options, select "Remove personal information from file properties on save".
